To all whom it 'may concern:

Be it known that we, AUGUST Wnmnren and CLEMEN'SWEINRICH, both subjects of the Gerinon Emperor, ond both residing at Worbis, in the German Empire, have invented certain new and. useful Improvements in Pyro technie Toys, ot' which the following is e speoiiicetion.

ur invention relates to those pyroteelmic toys which ere known es eoruseetingr or Bengoloondles and which on being ignited emit lshowers of bright sparks. With o view to producing the illusion of o. luminous ring or Sun shedding sparkling rays, ineens have been provided whereby such candles con be swung round in the hond. We have ascertained that the color effects of such it rotnting candle can be gre etly increased by provitb ing the candle with tivo se pointe masses of inflammable composition, which moy be such as to burn With different colors, the one moss emitting for instance o red light sind the other mess e blue liqht. The messes nitty be oi' equal or unequal lengths end moy lie in the seine lone of rotation' or in different planes. To enable the thus constructed l. double-concile to be conveniently swung, the

stein which unites the two combustible .masses presents e bearing to receive n rod,

spindle or other member acting es exis of ro tation.

Our invention is illustrated in the occomn ponying drawing. l

Figure 1 shows e double-candle ii'itl. perollel messes of composition united by o simple bent stem. llig. 2 shows e modiiretion in which the connecting stern is crossed et the bearing port. 3 shows o dolublceendle Whose cenni-@tingl stem is 'snbrolly Wound to constitute the bearing. Fig. ii shows u. modilied form ol double-candle, the connectingstem being o. straight Wire presenting en oye.

ln the double-@mulls shown in ll l the two parallel masses ol" composition o o ore connected by o stein l), which is n wire simply bent bock on itself to l'orm o bottling ior o spindle, rod or the like c adapted tobe held in the hand. Or instead of o spindle finger of the hand itself may be employed, as axis.

in the modification .illustrated in Fig. 2 the two messes oi' composition al a are spleyed eport, the connecting stern bi being crossed to form e loop to receive the spindle or the like c1 or o linger of the hand.

The stem of the candle shown in Fig. 3 is spirally coiled to forni o sleeve bearing d. The two inflammable messes e e1 oi this eenu die thus lie in different lanes of rotation.

ln the Aoendle shown in Fig. 4 the bearing for the spindle is e mere eye g, formeel by simply bending round the straight Wirestein. ln this candle the limbs with eembustible rnessesff1 on the t vesicles of the eye ere shown as being of unequalV length.

lt is apparent that the relative position of the inflammable messes 'to eeeh other ina-y be other than in the illustrated exemples; end the torni of the bee-ring also may be varied.

What we Gleim as new and by Letters Potent is 1. A corusceting double-candle, compris. ing two messes oi combustible. composition, and it stem uniting the saine and presenting a bearing to receive e member about which the candleenn be swung.

2. A eoruseating doublecenrlle, comprising two messes of Combustible composition, and e. stem uniting the same and bent to 'form o beer-ing lor e member about which the candle cnn be swung. i

3. A oorusceting doubleeendle, comprising two masses of combustible composition, ond stem uniting the some and presenting o bearing, in combination with o. member adopted to be grasped by the hand, and inserted through the bearing, end serving es exis about which the candle een be swung, substantially us described.

4. A. corusooting (louble-eendle, comprising two messes of combustible composition, ond o. stem unitingr the some and bent to `lorm on eye adopted to receive a 'member about which the candle can be sWunfr.
